I must ask here cause you guys seem to dodge it.. and it uses jump fuel as well.. are these modules able to handle cap sized ships? thanks. We don't have a date to announce for Rorqual changes quite yet, partially because some of the changes we want to make for it depend on some back-end code changes first that are in progress. And these modules can indeed be used and will provide their benefit on Rorquals.
Just from hearing that I'm getting a little excited.
New modules look great. Can't to get a rack for my caps. |

is there any plans on adding or discussing other jump-affecting modules in the future? |

Fro what I can tell no. However since they have stacking penalties anything beyond 3-4 might just be a waste of a slot. |

If these modules are allowed to be 5 m^3 like most other modules not specifically tied to a ship class then every carrier will just carry around 4-5 of them and insta switch them out when they land. The currently planned volume of these modules is 3500m3 There doesn't seem to be any specification currently with the fitting to any specific ship. Theoretically you could take a frigate, fit these modules to it and store it inside your carrier. It would still be very difficult to fit these in space still but allow you to refit easily in a station. Good point, and easy enough to solve. We have the technology. When you solve this problem, will they still be able to fit to a blops? Just making sure.... Also I wasn't clear on this: Will the modules affect blops bridges which use normal fuels instead of stront?
The last answer I saw was no affects to any bridging. Just the jump-druve |

After some more discussion we're going to go ahead and limit the fitting of these modules to Jump Freighters and Rorquals. Those are the only places where they would see extensive use anyways and the rest of the ships were muddying the waters a bit too much. Why would someone be jumping a rorqual around?
120k cargo + 30k fleet hangar + 250k ore hold + less fuel use than JF makes it a really good industry logistics ship. Especially if you don't want a dedicated JF. |

Where are you getting this from?Lynne Rankin wrote:I am disturbed by the sudden decision to restrict the use of these modules to only Rorquals and Jump Freighters. It's a disturbing trend, more and more modules and ships are getting told "Not for you," Or "NOOOOOO!" Tou must have also been disturbed when you found out bastions was only for marauders, siege/triage only for dreads/carriers, and covert cloaks/cynos only fitting on covert ops ships. It's nothing new. What this does is keep the impact of the fuel changes on normal capitals while giving the JF the lowslot option(s) that were promised. |

Those are the only places where they would see extensive use anyways and the rest of the ships were muddying the waters a bit too much. It seems logical to me. Does this change of mind also comes with a change of volume? Not at this time, no. Given the ship restrictions is the large size still required?
Well, you can now truly consider it a capital module so it still follows the pattern. and I don't really think your going to see a lack of space in those two ships to hold 3 of them. |

Can I remove a cargo expander? Yes: Okay, fit another conservation module. Repeat.
This aren't exciting decisions for a pilot to make, they just add more boringness to an already boring process (moving things around).
It's not like there are many interesting things to do with a JF to begin with. Rorqual already has access to most most modules so no lack of fun there. |
